Boris Vallejo was born in
Lima, Peru, and attended the National School of fine Arts in his
native country before immigrating to the United States in 1964.
He has since done a great
volume of work for the fantasy field, having worked for virtually
every major publishing house with a science fiction fantasy line.
Boris has also illustrated for album covers, video box art and
motion picture advertising.
His mastery of oil
painting is immediately and abundantly clear to anyone who looks at
his work, and his classic sense is as much an homage to the old
masters as it is to anyone contemporaneously working in the fantasy
genre.
For sheer dauntless
bravura, few have ever pushed the limits as does Boris with his
beautiful maidens and fearsome monsters. |

Julie Bell is riding at
the top in the field of superstar illustrators of the world today.
Her credits include advertising illustrations for the elite of the
corporate world, and painting book covers and album covers in New
York City. She was the first women ever to paint Conan for Marvel
Comics. Her hyper-realistic style is known for its sexy, powerful
images of warriors and amazons and sensitive, exquisite use of color
and texture.
Born in 1958 in Beaumont,
Texas, Julie has known herself through the identity of "Artist" for
as long as she can remember - art comes as naturally to her as does
breathing. She attended six different colleges and universities to
continue her passion for art, always focusing her studies on the
human figure and life drawing. |
